| Testimony |
You could say Richard has been in the church business all his life. Reared as a "preacher's kid," Richard knew what it was like growing up in the ministry. Although he walked the isle and was baptized at the age of six he did not become a Christian until he was 28 years old, while serving as a music minister at Ranchero Drive Baptist Church, Kerrville, Texas.
His testimony is about being sure that you are a Christian. Before he became a Christian, at the age of 28, he was preaching the gospel and leading music in churches from the age of 13. Later, at the age of 18, Richard was licensed into the gospel ministry. Richard served as music minister for four churches in Oklahoma and Texas and preached as opportunities gave. While serving at Ranchero Drive Baptist Church, Kerrville, Texas, at the end of a week-long revival meeting, God called Richard to salvation, and his life has never been the same. After resigning from Ranchero Drive Baptist Church, he and his family moved to Pampa, Texas where he was licensed, and later ordained, into the gospel ministry at Calvary Baptist Church. There he served as minister of evangelism.
In 1997 Richard and his family moved to Fort Worth, Texas to attend Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. While attending Southwestern, Richard became a church planter in Irving, Texas at Sierra Point apartment complex. within a year the little community church had right at a hundred attenders, most of whom were baptized there in a horse trough (or swimming pool if it was warm enough). Richard then went to work as a mission pastor's mentor for apartment pastors through Mission Mid Cities and the Baptist General Convention of Texas. In 2000 Richard graduated with two degrees in theology and taught at Southwestern as an adjunct professor.
Richard has served as an evangelist, music minister, church planter, missions mentor, and pastor throughout Oklahoma and Texas. He was called as pastor to Westland Heights Baptist Church in 2001. He is also the pastor of "The Little Mission Church," established in 2004 at Fairview Retirement Complex, Fort Worth, Texas.
Currently, Richard and His family serve at First Baptist Church, Dunsmuir, California. Richard took the pastorate there in 2009.
Richard is the author of six books, three theatrical productions, and has been published in many news papers and magazines around the world. He is also a published photographer having cover shots for Southwestern News, The Texan, and others, his work has been featured in many magazines and newspapers around the world.
"My calling is to serve. I use these platforms to draw an audience so the gospel can be presented. All I want to do is tell people about my Savior and bring help them on their journey of the cross in Jesus."
